About Michael
Michael Mudgett, LPC, works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship tension, grief, and life changes. He helps people talk through difficult moments and learn clearer ways to communicate. He also supports those dealing with addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Clients can expect a warm, interactive style in sessions. Michael focuses on teaching listening and communication skills so people can connect better with partners and others. He also helps with anger, sleep and eating concerns, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
With 18 years of experience, he draws from several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. He uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, and integrates trauma-focused work when needed. He describes his role as walking alongside people as they make changes.
Michael shares that faith and spiritual beliefs are part of his background and influence how he guides some clients; he is an ordained minister and pastored for 12 years. He offers spiritual mindfulness as one option for people who are interested in exploring meaning and purpose.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It teaches values-based action so someone can take steps that match what matters to them even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings link together and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect so people can find their own solutions; the therapist offers empathy and reflection rather than directives.Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions, priorities are set and techniques are adjusted based on how well they help you move toward those goals.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography did not specify them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule, and reduce travel time. Discuss with the therapist how sessions can be structured to address relationship concerns, trauma processing, or stress management in a way that fits your life.
